The Building Division administers the permitting of residential and commercial construction within the community in conformance with national, state and local building and zoning codes. The goal is to improve public safety by insuring that new construction adheres to existing building codes.
New building construction and/or alteration or repair of an existing building requires a building and mechanical permit. In accordance with the State of Connecticut Basic Building Code and the West Hartford Zoning Ordinance, permits are also required for air conditioning, heating, sprinkler, electric wiring, and plumbing. Click here for a list of on-line permit applications.
A building permit is required for any new building, addition, temporary building, demolition, or pool installation. A permit is required if you plan to alter a building by cutting a portion of a wall, removing or cutting any structural beam or load bearing support, or change any required means of entering or exiting.
Permits are also required for warm air, air conditioning, heating ventilation, sprinkler, electric systems and plumbing. Permits for small projects are typically issued the day after you apply. Larger projects may take 1-2 weeks. When making an application for a building permit, the process can be expedited by coming in when inspectors are available, which are between the hours 8:00-9:00 AM and 1:00-2:00 PM.
Our full-time building officials are: Supervisor of Inspections Mary Ann Basile, Senior Building Inspector Tim Mikloiche, Assistant Building Officials Fred S. Falcone, and Jeff Reynolds. Mark DiCiancia is the part time Plumbing and Heating Inspector. Click on the Staff Directory at the top of the page to view their email addresses and phone numbers.
